Experience points

Experience Points, or EXP, is Althanas's system of tracking character growth and character abilities. Like any other RPG, the more you role-play with your character, the more EXP he or she will get. As you raise levels you will be allowed to make your character more powerful than before.

Earning EXP and Leveling Up

Gaining EXP is simple: role-play battles, quests, and other events with your character, and you will be rewarded EXP for your efforts. The amount you gain depends upon several factors, from how well you score in the thread to your own level (in quests) or the highest level of the character in the thread (in battles).

For quests, the judge will rate the performance of everyone in the thread using the Althanas Rubric, and award EXP to each participant based on level, participation, and the quality of their writing. For battles, the judge rates each participant separately, and the EXP you earn is based on your score, according to a preset formula, which can be found.

After you reach the required amount of EXP, your character will gain a level. When you level up you’re allowed to add more abilities to your character, but not required to. If you wish to upgrade your character, then post in the Character Updates forum the same way you would for registering your character, but instead list what you wish to change. Once a moderator approves your changes you can now use your new additions to your character.

Consult the chart below to see how much EXP is required for each level.
